47 - New rules rule

It's inevitable that an expansion booklet that gives you new army lists also gives you some new rules. In this episode, we take a look at the additions and changes to Warhammer 2nd edition that were needed to use the Ravening Hordes book. Anything from terrain setup to deployment to magic items to manoeuvres and formations to characters and challenges to rout, rallying and pursuit to... no, wait, that's it. But that's still plenty to unpack and compare to earlier and later editions of Warhammer.

46 - The Hordes are Ravening

Let's take our first look at the Ravening Hordes book for 2nd edition WHFB. This book gives us new rules, and, more importantly, new army lists. But before we get to that, we first have to see we survive... the introduction.

45 - Interview: Christian themes in Warhammer

Apart from some High Elf (and other) news, the main topic of this show is an interview I did with Gregory from the UK. Together, we're going to explore the Christian themes in Warhammer lore. Yes, that's a thing.

43 - Goblin strategy

It's taken four episodes, but today we finally can close the book, er, magazine, on the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. It's given us lots of cool rules, new models and even a few promises! And of course some strategy tips, one of which even works every time! At least, as long as your opponent is an Elf. Dig in!
Here's the stuff mentioned in the news section:Warhammer Underworlds Night Goblins: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/oiyj3dfm/warhammer-underworlds-borgits-beastgrabbaz-are-the-next-warband-to-plunder-embergard/Empire new releases: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/0drukjdc/sunday-preview-the-full-fury-of-the-empire-of-man-plus-extra-fury-from-the-imperium-of-mankind/Empire Knightly Orders: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/ph4embz2/old-world-almanack-the-knightly-orders-of-the-empire/Las Vegas Open preview: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/oqstqeya/las-vegas-open-2025-the-first-preview-of-the-year-is-on-its-way/

42 - Dragon-Bolt (no Z)

Happy new year! Do you see those fireworks? They seem to be getting awfully close, though... And they also seem more like dragon-bolts (yes, that's a real type of dragons' breath weapon) than fireworks, come to think of it. Better check if I'm allowed to make a save...This episode covers the next section of the Citadel Journal Spring 1987, which is mostly dragons. But there's also a daemon. A shiny golden one, to be precise.

41 - Silent Knight, Green Knight

Merry Christmas everyone! For this special episode we're going to do something completely different. I invite you to come and sit by the campfire and listen to the complete, unabridged tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Because if Die Hard is a Christmas movie (of course it is!) then this is a Christmas story, and even more so.

40 - Goin' Stunty

We're picking up where we left off with the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. This episode, we're taking a look at two war machines: the (in)famous Man Mangler and the Elven equivalent of the A-team in their attack chariot. Also, there's skeletons. Lots of skeletons. And they're plastic. An anonymous author who may or may not be Rick Priestly (quite possibly not) explains why the plastic skeleton kit is so amazing (I agree!) and how to get the most out of it.

39 - Of Balrogs and undead mercenaries (Citadel Journal Spring 87 part 1)

Just like GW makes you wait a long time after certain announcements, so too does this podcast. But it's all the sweeter when they finally get released! So too (hopefully) with this episode, in which we look back at some (announcements of) new releases and (announcements of) old releases, in the first look at the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. So get set, for this is going to be a multi-part episode.

38 - You look... familiar

The forces of Chaos unleash their worst! Tremble before such names as Demonnet, Mite and Homonculus! And they Chaos Sorcerers these familiars accompany are pretty decent too. But it's mostly the familiars that steal the glory. Oh, and there's also some new miniatures that may or may not be of use in your armies. But hey, look at the cool old stuff!
